Is the howling of hunting dogs at every call to prayer a glorification of Allah, and what is the interpretation of this wailing?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
All creatures glorify Allah with His praise, and this includes dogs. However, we do not comprehend the manner of their glorification. Therefore, one must believe in their glorification without asserting that their howling is their glorification. It is not permissible to beat them for their howling.
